DHCP Server
DHCP is a TCP/IP application protocol that allows any TCP/IP device to dynamically obtain
its initial TCP/IP configurations through the TCP/IP protocol itself (in this case, through the
UDP protocol). It is based on the client-server paradigm. The EtherWAN switch can be setup
as a DHCP server to allow any DHCP client to dynamically obtain its IP address, default
router, and DNS servers.
General Overview
The EtherWAN switch can function as a DHCP server for a single VLAN (it can be any
VLAN) on the switch. When functioning as a DHCP server, the EtherWAN switch can be
configured with a range of IP addresses, default gateway and DNS servers, which will allow
the switch to use the dynamic configuration function of the DHCP protocol to provide any
TCP/IP device that is a DHCP client, to dynamically obtain an IP address, default router, and
DNS servers. The EtherWAN DHCP server can also be configured with a lease period that
the DHCP clients are allowed the use of their assigned IP address. In this simple
implementation, both the DHCP Client and the DHCP Server must be on the same network
(same VLAN).
